Over the weekend, fans noticed that Sonny Kiss had been removed from AEW’s website roster, and while that didn’t 100% mean he’d departed the company, it wasn’t a good sign. And now, while speaking during All Out’s post-show media scrum, Tony Khan has confirmed the AEW original is no longer with his promotion, although would note he likes Kiss and, therefore, has left the door open for a potential return.
“I can’t renew every single contract in AEW. It would be impossible. And with such a big roster and a limited amount of TV spots. I think Sonny Kiss is a great wrestler and had a lot of potential from the very beginning of AEW and still has a lot of potential as a wrestler. And I really like Sonny Kiss.
I think Sonny Kiss could certainly be back potentially, too. We’ve seen wrestlers go on and do some exciting stuff and come back, like Stu Grayson, for example. So you never know what the future holds for Sonny Kiss or AEW, but I think Sonny Kiss has a lot of talent, and I definitely wish him the best as a wrestler and still really hold Sonny in very high regard.”
Tony Khan29-year-old Kiss initially made a name for himself in Lucha Underground under the name XO Lishus. So, when Khan was looking for talents in 2019 to launch AEW, Kiss was one of his first signees. He would go on to compete on AEW’s inaugural pay-per-view event, Double or Nothing, and then, for a period, became a featured performer in the promotion. However, this didn’t last, and over time, he’d become an enhancement talent on Dark and Dark: Elevation before moving to Khan’s ROH roster.
